   	a.	You misspelled a keyword.
   	b.	You forgot to end the DATA step with a RUN statement.
   	c.	You specified an invalid data set option.
   	d.	Some data values weren't appropriate for the SAS statements you specified.

3. What happens if you submit the following program?

        proc sort data=clinic.stress out=maxrates;
           by maxhr;
        run;
        proc print data=maxrates label double noobs;
           label rechr='Recovery Heart Rate;
           var resthr maxhr rechr date;
           where tolerance='I' and resthr>90;
           sum fee;
        run;

   	a.	log messages indicate that the program ran successfully
   	b.	a "PROC SORT running" message appears at the top of the active window, and a log message may indicate an error on a statement that looks valid
   	c.	a log message indicates that an option is invalid or not recognized
   	d.	a "PROC PRINT running" message appears at the top of the active window, and a log message may indicate that a quoted string has become too long or that the statement is ambiguous

4. What type of error does the following program contain?
   

        proc tabulate data=maxrates;
           class tolerance;
           var resthr maxhr rechr date
           table tolerance, minhr maxhr rechr;
           table tolerance*timeminutes;

   	a.	execution-time
   	b.	syntax
   	c.	semantic

5. Suppose you submit the DATA step below. Then you submit the PROC step. To edit the DATA step, what should you do?
   

        data sasuser.mynewdata;

           by id;
        run;
   
        proc print data=mysales;
           var date salesrep total commission;
        run;            

   	a.	Recall the submitted statements once. Edit the DATA step and resubmit both steps.
   	b.	Recall the submitted statements twice. Edit the DATA step and resubmit both steps.
   	c.	Recall the submitted statements twice. Delete the PROC step, edit the DATA step, and resubmit the DATA step.
